Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Tigers

[QWERTY]

Again the lack of an inspirational example setter who radiates confidence is the major missing element in the halves and on the edges. I'm hoping that Hutch's experience and Flanno's post exile determination will at least keep things steady. This is probably the weakest that the team has been in years.

Are you talking Hastings/Nikorima era weak?

[player 1]

Well if we happen to start slow like the raiders did today against titans who scored first, let's hope the ref gives us 24 consecutive tackles on the tigers' line until we score, as just happened for the raiders.

I don't know what to expect from this game, we were so very bad last week in execution.

We just need to grab those 2 points, in what fashion is largely irrelevant at this point.

How about Wighton's dive which was rewarded with a penalty?

I wonder if Ricky will have a whinge over his own players diving in the presser this week.

[Serenader]

Canberra giving it to the Titans, so the pressure is on. Time to flex the bicep!!

[Mickie Lane]

To be thinking Im not sure who will win this one go's to show you that this is a severely depleted Roosters team.
The halves & edge forwards worry me.
The Tigers have a harder edge to them this year & will lift because they are playing the Premiers sorry B2B Premiers.

Go the MIGHTY CHOOKS

[FREEMAN89]

Looks as though the 1-17 will be unchanged.

NRL app has team listed as 1-17.

Excited to see Lussick play, hopefully he gets a few minutes.

[Bahrain Rooster]

Roosters 1-17. Up the mighty Chooks!

[Rooster_6]

I really worry about Jake Friend in games like this where he feels the need to try and create points, he often tries too hard and ends up costing us on last play options. I know Keary is out but he really just needs to trust in the halves that Robbo has picked.

[Rooster1908]

Hall likely to come in for an injured Ikuvalu. ☹️

Matt's in , Halls out , did you hear something about Matt being injured

[Lydon]

For us to win today we need Tedesco to take over the game, if he fires we will win!

[chopstiks]

Cmon Ted. Show these cats what they're missing!

[Bruce 38-0]

Just need a performance from Teddy like he had against the Dogs. From memory Kyle also scored in that game. Bring it on.

[IRoosterManI]

When did teddy last score a try? I feel like it’s been a month. Surely he is due?

[Grant Hedger]

Matt's in , Halls out , did you hear something about Matt being injured

He was missing from captain’s run and he took a knock last week
